MP3/WMA mode
If you like your files to be in the correct or- der, you should use burner software that places files in alphanumerical order. If your software does not provide this fea- ture you also have the option of sorting the files manually. For this purpose, you must enter a number in front of each file name, e.g. "001", "002", etc. The leading zeros must also be entered.
